The collisions in the game are all over the place. The sense of speed is thick and the highest-tier vehicles will test your skills in the best ways. You're here for the racing, yea? It's a mixed bag here. You probably won't, but more on that later. Instead of giving players adequate time to get familiar with the cast, the writers crammed a rise, fall, attempt to rise again, and fall again series of events into the first 45 minutes before getting into the meat of what is a 10+ hours experience if you don't dabble in side quests too much. Unfortunately, almost immediately after that, the prologue's pace nosedives.
Almost immediately there's chaos, cops, and betrayal. The prologue mission introduces you to all the main players in this high-speed drama, including the three (plus the unplayable mechanic) that make up the crew that you'll control throughout the single-player campaign. 'Need For Speed: Payback' starts off with quite a bang.
